Understanding the Vision of Beloved Community

What does Beloved Community look like?

As they talk, laugh, share stories week after week, they are changed. Each of these young people is a member of […]

Communities of Discovery

What Improv taught us about the spiritual life while we were at the Young Adult Retreat “Isn’t improv hard?” My wife asked me at breakfast, after I’d been waxing poetic about the 2015 Young Adult retreat, where my friends Barbara Allen and Bill Sabo led us in exploring the spirituality of improvisation. “Not really,” I […]

Some Thoughts on Spiders

I’m surrounded by spiders. All summer it felt like everywhere I turned I saw spiders – they were in our house at camp – massive spiders scurrying in the corners and as I sat and wrote at the desk facing the fields, I saw spiders in the windows spinning enormous webs. I found spiders in […]

Who will I love, and how will I love them well?

This year, Praxis Communities are thinking and writing about the question “How do we live in relationship?”  Different individuals and communities will read this question in different ways, and nuance it to fit their own questions and understandings.  I’m most interested in romantic relationships, and so my version of the question is “Who will I love, […]
